It's a shame snowflake journalists, the type that work for papers like The Guardian have taken it upon themselves to try and destroy everything about what was good about the eras we grew up in. Hopefully the plague of cancel culture will soon be wiped out. There's a great comment by @shawnstrife5527 that said people have fetishized the need to be offended. I think that rings quite true these days.
While I like the Guardian and I think there should be more papers like that and less Murdoch trash in this case that reviewer was clearly on drugs while watching the movie.
Back in the day when Mary Whitehouse was active the counter argument was always that there was the option to switch channels, turn the tv off, or leave the cinema but now we have the internet and online petitions everywhere. Apparently it's called progress.
it's people who find it offensive MAKE IT OFFENSIVE and have people follow their uneducated opinion. Just don't watch. also, nothing or no one truly gets cancelled, it tends to bring MORE recognition
mick didn't grope 2 trans women, he groped just the one in the bar (and I think the character was just supposed to be a guy in drag), the other was a woman with manly features and voice, hence why he said "just checking". and it's stupid of people to claim that's transphobic as it makes sense that someone like mick would be terribly confused by encountering a man dressed as a woman, and where he's from they are very direct. and asking the limo driver what tribes he's from isn't racist either, mick's only ever lived in the outback where all black people he knows are part of one of the tribes, and since he's not that educated in the ways of the world outside of the outback then it makes sense that he would assume a black man he meets in NY was from a tribe.
The people that will say this film is racist or sexist or whatever, are usually the people who have never traveled anywhere outside their city and only hang out with fellow "woke folk". These very same people can't comprehend that not everyone on this planet lives the same way or has the same weak minded mentality. They have lived in a special snowflake bubble their entire life and don't understand anything outside of it. Sucky part is that here in the US they are allowed to ruin everyone's fun. Ozzy culture is direct, to the point, and awesome.
I know people are taking things way to serious getting offended by anything. Well this trans thing is nothing new it was happening hundreds of years ago as well as cross dressing society is just over tired of having this or the gay thing shoved in our faces. I think they should all stay home and hide under there bed sheets.
Especially seeing her showing up in a costume blown up to 3 floors high, sitting in row B on opening night. You could see film grain, and every single pore and hair.
Taking offence now about movies/tv shows from many years ago tells me all I need to know about society today! If your offended turn it off! Freedom of speech seems to be an exclusive right for those who are complaining about somebody who actually dared to say what they're thinking not what's was expected in any situation!
A classic and hilarious movie. It was about a fish out of water, and how he would react to being out of his element. I felt Dundee's reactions would have been genuine, and without malice. I also feel that the writer of the article was a narcissist, and probably no fun at a party because he was criticizing a movie about a fictional character who was out of their element. 🤷
One of my favourite 80's films. The New York bar scene, one of the best of the film, so cut to ribbons in todays tv screenings. It was of it's time and I don't care.
The ""two fleas" are white and aboriginal people in the wider context of that line - and it's an elegant metaphor about the land not really being "owned" by anyone since land exists far longer than any human.
Not only was the movie not offensive, it should be hailed as a great example of including trans people in the movie and having it be part of the actual story, and not just pandering.
No, if they were born male, but now want to live as or be seen as women, then they are transwomen. A trans man would have been assigned female at birth.
Cancel cancel culture. Mick from the Australian Outback meeting a guy who looks like those he knows from his native land and asking what tribe he’s from is a culture cross, not a mistake. Mick doesn’t know better and that was obvious. Cancel culture (and those who write in support of it) knew this, but just wanted to make a name for themselves. The usual “look at me” syndrome.
I saw this movie this movie as a teenager…a fun movie that I watched with my teenager years later! It seemed then and now to be sympathetic towards the Aboriginal people of Australia. It played up his encounter with the crossdresser for laughs but doesn’t seem mean or hateful. If anything it portrays Dundeee as backwards…that is to say one realizes you shouldn’t do that if you aren’t backwards.
John Cornell, the real star of The Paul Hogan Show, we'll never forget you as Strop RIP John Cornell Ps 6:21 That's John Cornell's wife, actress Delvene Delaney
literally not one scene was "transphobic" everything was lighthearted and all in fun, and not one moment was used to point and say "that's gross" or equivalent. same with the "example" of "racism", an honest question from someone who lacks an understanding of the context, is NOT racist. Hogan said it well, sometimes it's warranted (song of the south), and sometimes its a stupid reach made by people who have some fetishized NEED to be offended (crocodile dundee)
I agree, some people these days do need to be offended. They should all go and see Dave Chappelle, that would give them a good years worth of offence in a single dose.
If anything, I'd be offended if I were Australian for the film's portrayal of Dundee as a backwoodsman unaware of modern civilization. LOL. I loved this movie. It's a true classic. Thankfully, I never saw the sequels (sequels are not equals) because I knew they could never be as good as the original.
ALSO: the person offended by everything: wasn't a woman, wasn't trans, wasn't black. 💁🏿♂️ Isn't it always the way? the people that are offended are never part of whatever group that should (supposedly) be offended. Virtue signaling at its finest!
There weren't two trans women, just one...the second "trans" was just a questionable looking woman. Regardless, with the trans woman not giving any indication she wasn't actually a REAL (yup, I said it) woman in the first place, then "she" had everything she got coming to her. And asking Reginald Vel Johnson what tribe he was from wasn't offensive, it was just silly. Me and family laughed at it. 💁🏿♂️
Before this movie was made I used to watch the Paul Hogan show on PBS so I was already familiar with Australian comedy. They did things differently down under; a blend of American and British culture. To start with, drinking their beer cold and cooking outside and of course their irreverence toward the "mother" country. Not many people know that Australians love Florida and many of them , including the Bee Gees, live there today. One reason I think the third movie failed was that most Aussies just didn't like Los Angelou and would have given the movie a "thumbs up" if it had been located in Miami.
I grew up watching The Paul Hogan Show, it was a fantastic show, during the past couple of weeks I have even watched a few clips on UA-cam, some complete shows. As for being offensive, apparently it was recently on British TV and they cut a lot out of it to make it virtually unwatchable. It is humour nothing else, surprising how the people most offended love to make fun of white, Caucasian, Christian males every chance they get.
The fact that you think it's offensive to trans people (hilarious take btw), you get a thumbs down from me and an unsubscribe... Won't be watching your woke garbage anymore
It's up to an individual to TAKE offence about something. So it's basically on them. If you're offended, then don't watch it. Nobody's forcing you to watch it. Go and do something else with your life instead of being offended about someone else's creative work. Maybe go make your own movie that's better than Crocodile Dundee or something like that.
It's a shame snowflake journalists, the type that work for papers like The Guardian have taken it upon themselves to try and destroy everything about what was good about the eras we grew up in.

I think the Guardian is overdue for getting itself cancelled.
@MyLateralThawts canceled like the News of the World, you mean? Do you remember why it shut down?
Back in the day when Mary Whitehouse was active the counter argument was always that there was the option to switch channels, turn the tv off, or leave the cinema but now we have the internet and online petitions everywhere. Apparently it's called progress.
It's not offensive.
It's played for laughs not to offend the morally superior. I thought it wasn't offensive either
@timmellor2599
It’s all about context, which a certain element of society do not understand.
Too right.
I agree, unfortunately the snowflakes of today can't quite help themselves but to try and destroy everything that was good about bygone eras.
it's people who find it offensive MAKE IT OFFENSIVE and have people follow their uneducated opinion. Just don't watch. also, nothing or no one truly gets cancelled, it tends to bring MORE recognition
Brilliant movie totally not offensive

I'd forgotten how much I fell in love with Linda K when I first saw this film.
Especially seeing her showing up in a costume blown up to 3 floors high, sitting in row B on opening night. You could see film grain, and every single pore and hair.
We all did. Between the onesie with the crocodille and the red dress with all the holes in it she was the "It Girl" of 1986.
Unfortunately, so did Paul Hogan, and it ruined his marriage.
I know what you mean.
Wasn't offensive at all! I think it's rather humorous! Especially if others find it offensive!
Well said
It's true. I didn't know that a bunch of Karens were looking at a 40 year old classic film and deciding it is 'problematic'. I don't care either.
As an 80s kid I can tell you it introduced me to Australia, Coke and a beautiful dirty 80s NY lol
A cross over between Beverly Hills cop and crocodile 🐊 dundee would have been an awesome movie 🎬 I would watch that

Anyone that is offended by this film should get a life. Just because you are offended doesn't mean you're right.

When I hear it I find nothing wrong with it too. People today will make anything from our great era out to be offensive to the snowflakes.
The first movie was great and even the second wasn’t horrible but I didn’t even know they did a 3rd movie.
3rd movie is bad
Don't even bother to watch it, it's soul destroying
Not only was the movie not offensive, it should be hailed as a great example of including trans people in the movie and having it be part of the actual story, and not just pandering.
Transwomen? You mean men.
No, if they were born male, but now want to live as or be seen as women, then they are transwomen. A trans man would have been assigned female at birth.
PART 1 AND 2 A GREAT MOVIES
I thought it was a good movie. Sue Charlton was smokin hot. Some of the stuff she wore were fantastic!!
Totally agree

You made a good choice not watching the sequels

Only one note
"That's not a knife, THAT's a knife"... not "this is a knife" 😁

That's not a knife...
That's a spoon.
I see you've played 'Knifie Spoonie' before.
Crocodile Dundee II is a good sequel, the 3rd is pointless.
3:16 What crocodile??

The Guardian, yeah that's a reputable rag.
Great movie, people need to get a life.
If you pointing the guardian as a source of any information I have doubts if we can be friends.
I didn't say I was a fan of that paper, it was just a source. please let's be friends
What aload of bollocks it's just a film and a really good one at that
The 'transphobic' bits from this film were hilarious.
The fact that you think it's offensive to trans people (hilarious take btw), you get a thumbs down from me and an unsubscribe... Won't be watching your woke garbage anymore
I don't think that, they were the opinions of the newspaper reporter. I just said he wasn't completely wrong in all of his comments.
It's up to an individual to TAKE offence about something. So it's basically on them. If you're offended, then don't watch it. Nobody's forcing you to watch it. Go and do something else with your life instead of being offended about someone else's creative work. Maybe go make your own movie that's better than Crocodile Dundee or something like that.
Must America change everything like mad Max
Comedy? I thought it was a documentary...
I know one thing.
That ain't a knife
The buffalo waz already drugged
The first 2 where classes the 3rd one not so Mutch
Well after watching dozens of your videos and being subscribed, you just cancelled yourself 🙄
Agreeing with a stupid woke newspaper article gets you a first thumbs down from me.
I dont think he does.
I don't agree with them, I hate all this cancel culture bull. I merely said he wasn't totally wrong.
Strong aroma of gammon in some of these comments…
You only had to say that it was a 'journalist' for The Guardian and we'd all have known how worthless that opinion was
Ughhh, it was going so well, but you just couldnt help yourself.
humour is now offensive 😢
: )
Hypersensitive horseshit. The moaners should be ignored.
Cancel culture should have started by canceling itself ❤
